It shows you how people sometimes lack any bloody logic; there is NO way the government and police would allow any petrol station to close, what more for 3 days. The people who rushed to the stations and caused massive jams were being very silly and illogical..the same idiots who rushed to the petrol station when the government announced the price increase. How much did they really save for the amount of time they wasted waiting for their turn...

Bloody nuisence.

And the government also should get a kick up the *CENSORED*; when they heard about the sms going around, instead of DOING SOMETHING, they did NOTHING other than to ask maxis, celcom and so forth to send out sms's to tell customers the rumors of a strike was not true. By then, it was too late...8 hours or so had passed and people's day was spoilt because some of us couldn't re-fill due to the crazy long lines.

The government has absolutely NO CONTROL over whats going on with the oil situation and also dealing with the fact people in sabah and sarawak need natural gas pumps ASAP. Have any of our elected representatives even brought up the issues with the oil companies for urgent attention?

And everyday, so much of this natural gas which could be put to good use is wasted in Labuan as its burnt off instead of being used because they have access gas they don't know what to do with it.

Its pure greed by Petronas and the other oil companies. Sabah and Sarawak are the poorest states in malaysia. We have the technology to serve these states with natural gas to reduce the burden on the people yet they are greedy and DON'T offer it as an option for people living in East Malaysia because they want to make more money from selling petrol and diesel.

Okay, about this issues, who should we blame? Just my 2 cents, I will choose G, And FADM. From all I know, Petrol Dealers Association of Malaysia (PDAM) ini ada bringing up the issues that they should get higher commission for fuel purchases via credit card. Which means, kalau sekarang meraka dpt 1% commision, mereka dapat commission 6 hingga 20 K per month. But, the increases of 6% commission will give them 17 to 60 K per month.. Maksud dia, harga petrol akan meningkat kalau guna kad kredit compare using cash to buy petrol.. So, which means, they'll get extra moneylah... So, current G lose control sudah dg ini peniaga...

Lagipun, ini cakap president FADM, Abdul Wahid Bidin. He said, “The price for using a credit card will be higher and cash sales may be a few sen lower. This would discourage people from using credit cards,” he said.

If these towkay's don't like the agreement they have with the petrol companies, they should take up the issue with the Ministry of Domestic and Trade and the petrol companies, as well as the Prime Minister's department. Why are they taking it out on consumers? We never forced them to sign any agreements or to agree to the terms and conditions of the petrol companies.

What these petrol station owners are doing is unethical and wrong. The government are also being total *CENSORED* by not doing anything about this..they are keeping quiet and not taking action. The big problem with Badawi and his government is they are always one step behind any problem and extremely slow in reacting to issues...

This is another example of not necc. incompetence but a "wait and see" problem this current government seems to have.

They just do not have the best interest of the general public at heart.

Our own sabahan leaders also should be ashamed of themselves. NONE of them have come up with any solutions or pro-active suggestions to look into many of the issues that are affecting us and that makes me very very angry.

I can tell you there are no traffic jam's and no rush for fuel in Kabul and other provinces in Afghanistan. But I see your point about being backward..the irony in all of this is the VIP's don't need to rush to fill up petrol..they all have drivers and 2 or 3 car's...
